It's a sad sad day.......

[Ginge 35Edition]

It's a happy day. You'll love the 330d M Sport. It's a sublime drive. Welcome to the fold. 

Cheers mate! I'm on F30 post as BigNPT.

I'll speak to you there. Better not give my f30post name here as they hate me on the GTI forums, especially the Mk7 one. 

Think I already have your number, lol!

Gotch ya!

The F30 feels a bit of a boat after a GTI. It feels huge and is a PITA to park. But one gets used to it - just. Took me nearly 3 months. I hung on to my GTI for 3 extra months and was constantly swapping cars. I found it really hard to be minus my GTI. But now, that the Beemer has run-in, its something else.

If it wasn't for the fact that can't bring myself to own a five door golf I'd probably have gone for the mk7 GTD, but bev and I have agreed that we should really have a 4/5 door in the lie up. The 330 I borrowed made me realise that it'll eat up the miles with no problem and it seems to be quite a pleasant place to be for 3 hours a day.

I agree. Great mile muncher. Fab seats and the HK and Vis Pack are terrific. Very different car from a GTI. The runflats still worry me. As with all cars, the F30 does have its quirks. There's no dual mode for the Climate Control, the Wipers and Indicators can drive one insane and worst of all the music/radio does not reduce in vol when you engage reverse. But the Pro Nav and iDrive are very intutive. You'll be getting the touch iDrive controller which is even better. Enjoy and see you on the other side.
